Light Up The Windmill

I got yelled at by a lady who is in serious need of some ritalin. All night she kept sliding into her seat like it was the end of a tripple with a close throw coming in hard.

My experience tonight isn't really like yours but here goes.

During the Milton "Game of Life" Bradley strikeout in the 9th I was standing the whole time... as were many fans.  On any given pitch Bradley was sure to hit into a ground out, pop up or line out so I saw the opportunity to cheer Frankie on from the 1st pitch.  This section(406) who wouldn't participate in anyones "lets go angels" chants or anything actually yells at my friend, myself and a few other people who were excited and cheering for an out pitch to "sit down."  I waved my arms and yelled "Stand up!"  The ritalin lady who was crouched in a ready to pounce position yells at me to sit down because there aren't two strikes.  I'm like.."He could be out on the next pitch." She gets pissed and is like" there aren't two strikes sit down."  I can't stand anyone discouraging wild enthusiasm for the team.  I would prefer people to cheer for every 3rd out of every inning(specifically against a team like the Oakland A's in a situation where we are about to take step 1 of 2 towards taking 1st place from them).  What is with people?

I was at the final game vs. the Twins to go to the World Series and I don't remember sitting hardly at all during that game.  Is there something wrong with me for standing during Bradley's entire at bat?

I wanna party with you, man!  

Section 241 was practically empty last night.. the wife and I had the whole damn row to ourselves...

I shoulda rolled on down.

Saunders called it the play of the game. It also mentioned that Saunders will likely stay in the roster

First off, one of my best friends is a die hards A's fan. As you know 98% of A's fans are die hard fans, if they werent why else would they be A's Fans. I take him to all the Angels/A's games each year. We have a great time at the games as we just haze one another all night. We alos have a running bet (this is the third year) on which team will have the best record at the end of the year. Looser and wife take the the winner and wife to dinner of the winners choice. Last two years have been great dinners at Maggiano's and Salt Creek Grill... oh the glory!

The past three years, there have been some A's fans at the game, but this year A's fans are all over the place. He was all excited that he was surrounded by 30-40 A's fans last night in my seats in sect P239. So during the 2nd inning 8 A's fans show up in the row in front of ours, real rowdy bunch. They had these huge yellow foam A's cowboy hats and old school A's Jerseys (the best one had to admit was a #9 Jackson Jersey). If you were in the pavillion you saw these yahoos with their hats on. On top of these foam hats, there was a big bucket like hole. The entire night, Angel fans were throwing peanuts into the buckets, it was abolutely hilarious. By then end of the night, there had to be at least 50 peanuts that made it in the buckets. And of course towards the end of the night they started to act like any Raider or A's fan and started challenging everyone to a fight. It was great...I kept on telling them that the bucket on top of their hats would hold a lot of A's tears come the end of the night...I sure am glad I was right!

I love the Angels/A's rivalry
